LTC1760  
Dual Smart Battery  
System Manager  
FEATURES  
DESCRIPTION  
The LTC®1760 Smart Battery System Manager is a highly-  
integrated SMBus Level 3 battery charger and selector  
intended for products using dual smart batteries. Three  
SMBus interfaces allow the LTC1760 to servo to the  
internal voltage and currents measured by the batteries  
while allowing an SMBus Host device to monitor either  
battery’s status. Charging accuracy is determined by the  
battery’s internal voltage and current measurements,  
typically better than 0.ꢀ2.  
n
SMBus Charger/Selector for Two Smart Batteries*  
n
Voltage and Current Accuracy within 0.2% of Value  
Reported by Battery  
n
Simplifies Construction of “Smart Battery System  
Manager”  
n
Includes All SMBus Charger V1.1 Safety Features  
n
Supports Autonomous Operation without a Host  
n
Allows Both Batteries to Discharge Simultaneously  
into Single Load with Low Loss (Ideal Diode)  
n
A proprietary PowerPatharchitecture supports simultane-  
ouschargingordischargingofbothbatteries.Typicalbattery  
run times are extended by up to 102, while charging times  
are reduced by up to 502. The LTC1760 automatically  
switchesbetweenpowersourcesinlessthan1stoprevent  
power interruption upon battery or wall adapter removal.  
SMBus Switching for Dual Batteries with Alarm  
Monitoring for Charging Battery at All Times  
n
Pin Programmable Limits for Maximum Charge  
Current and Voltage Improve Safety  
n
Fast Autonomous PowerPathSwitching (<10µs)  
n
Low Loss Simultaneous Charging of Two Batteries  
n
The LTC1760 implements all elements of a version 1.1  
“SmartBatterySystemManagerexceptforthegeneration  
of composite battery information. An internal multiplexer  
cleanly switches the SMBus Host to either of the two  
attached Smart Batteries without generating partial mes-  
sages to batteries or SMBus Host. Thermistors on both  
batteriesareautomaticallymonitoredfortemperatureand  
disconnection information (SafetySignal).

OPERATION (Refer to Block Diagram and Typical Application Figure)  
1 Overview  
diode-like behavior from the FET switches, without the  
attendant high power dissipation from diodes. The Host  
is informed of this 3-Diode mode status when it polls the  
PowerPath status register via the SMBus interface. High  
speed PowerPath switching at the LOPWR trip point is  
handled autonomously.  
The LTC1760 is composed of an SMBus interface with  
dual port capability, a sequencer for managing system  
power and the charging and discharging of two batteries,  
a battery charger controller, charge MUX controller, Pow-  
erPath controller, a 10-bit current DAC (I ) and 11-bit  
voltage DAC (V ). When coupled with optional system  
DAC  
Simultaneous discharge of both batteries is supported.  
The switch drivers prevent reverse current flow in the  
switches and automatically discharge both batteries into  
the load, sharing current according to the relative capacity  
ofthebatteries.Simultaneousdualdischargecanincrease  
battery operating time by up to 102 by reducing losses  
in the switches and reducing internal battery losses as-  
sociated with high discharge rates.  
DAC  
software for generating composite battery information,  
it forms a complete Smart Battery System Manager for  
charging and selecting two smart batteries. The battery  
charger is controlled by the sequencer which uses a Level  
3 SMBus interface to read ChargingVoltage(), Voltage(),  
ChargingCurrent(),Current(),Alarm()andBatteryMode().  
Thisinformation, together with thermistormeasurements  
allows the sequencer to select the charging battery and  
safely servo on voltage and current. Charging can be  
accomplished only if the voltage at DCDIV indicates that  
sufficientvoltageisavailablefromtheinputpowersource,  
usually an AC adapter. The charge MUX, which selects  
the battery to be charged, is capable of charging both  
batteries simultaneously. The charge MUX switch drivers  
are configured to allow charger current to share between  
the two batteries and to prevent current from flowing in  
a reverse direction in the switch. The amount of current  
that each battery receives will depend upon the relative  
capacity of each battery and the battery voltage. This can  
resultinsignificantlyshorterchargingtimes(upto502for  
Li-Ion batteries) than sequential charging of each battery.  
2 The SMBus Interface  
2.1 SMBus Interface Overview  
The SMBus interface allows the LTC1760 to communi-  
cate with two batteries and the SMBus Host. The SMBus  
Interface supports true dual port operation by allowing  
the SMBus Host to be connected to the SMBus of either  
battery. The LTC1760 is able to operate as an SMBus  
Master or Slave device. The LTC1760 SMBUS address is  
0×14 (8-bit format).  
References:  
Smart Battery System Manager Specification: Revision  
1.1, SBS Implementers Forum.  
The sequencer also selects which of the pairs of PFET  
switches will provide power to the system load. If the  
system voltage drops below the threshold set by the  
LOPWR resistor divider, then all of the output-side PFETs  
are turned on quickly. The input-side PFETs act as diodes  
in this mode and power is taken from the highest voltage  
source available at the DCIN, BAT1, or BATꢀ inputs. The  
input-sidePowerPathswitchdriverthatisdeliveringpower  
then closes its input switch to reduce the power dissipa-  
tion in the PFET bulk diode. In effect, this system provides

OPERATION  
2.3 Description of Supported SMBus Functions  
The functions are described as follows:  
Function Name() (command code)  
Description:  
• TheLTC1760autonomouslychangestheconfiguration  
of the batteries being charged (Polling only).  
Purpose:  
Used by the SMBus Host to determine the present state  
of the LTC1760 and the attached batteries. It also may be  
used to determine the state of the battery system after  
the LTC1760 notifies the SMBus Host of a change via  
SMBALERT.  
A brief description of the function.  
Purpose:  
The purpose of the function, and an example where ap-  
propriate.  
SMBus Protocol: Read or Write Word.  
Input/Output: word – Refer to “Section ꢀ.ꢀ” for bit

SMBus Protocol: Refer to Section ꢀ.5 and to the SMBus  
specification for more details.  
SMB_BAT[4:1] Nibble  
Input, Output or Input/Output: A description of the data  
supplied to, or returned by, the function.  
Theread/writeSMB_BAT[4:1]nibbleisusedbytheSMBus  
Host to select with which individual battery to commu-  
nicate or to determine with which individual battery it is  
communicating.  
Whenever the LTC1760 encounters a valid command with  
invalid data, it ACKs the command, and ignores the invalid  
data. For example, if an attempt is made to select Battery  
1 and ꢀ to simultaneously communicate with the system  
host, the LTC1760 will just ignore the request.  
For example, an application that displays the remaining  
capacity of all batteries would write to this nibble to in-  
dividually select each battery in turn and get its capacity.

0000b: No battery being charged.  
AC_PRESENT Bit  
The read only AC_PRESENT bit is used to show the user  
the status of AC availability to power the system. It may  
be used internally by the SMBus Host in conjunction with  
other information to determine when it is appropriate to  
allow a battery conditioning cycle. Whenever there is a  
change in the AC status, the LTC1760 asserts SMBALERT  
low. In response, the system has to read this register to  
determine the actual presence of AC. The LTC1760 uses  
the DCDIV pin to measure the presence of AC.  
An indication that multiple batteries are being charged  
simultaneously does not indicate that the batteries are  
being charged at the same rate or that they will complete  
their charge at the same time. To actually determine  
when an individual battery will be fully charged, use the  
SMB_BAT[4:1] nibble to individually select the battery of  
interest and read the TimeToFull() value.  
Allowed values are:  
1b: The LTC1760 has determined that AC is present.  
PRESENT_BAT[4:1] Nibble  
0b: The LTC1760 has determined that AC is not pres-  
ent.  
The read only PRESENT_BAT[4:1]nibble is used by the  
SMBus Host to determine how many and which batteries  
are present. All writes to this nibble will be ignored.  
POWER_NOT_GOOD Bit  
The read only POWER_NOT_GOOD bit is used to show  
thatthevoltagedeliveredtothesystemloadisinadequate.  
This is determined by the LOPWR comparator.  
Allowed values are:  
0011b: Both Battery ꢀ and Battery 1 are present.  
0010b: Only Battery ꢀ is present.  
0001b: Only Battery 1 is present.  
0000b: No batteries are present.  
ThePOWER_NOT_GOODbitwillalsobesetiftheLTC1760  
has detected a short circuit condition (see “Section 8.ꢀ”)  
or an emergency turn-off condition (see “Section 8.3”).  
Under either of these conditions the power paths will be  
shut off even if battery or DC power is available.  
2.3.2 BatterySystemStateCont() (0×02)  
Allowed values are:  
Description:  
1b: The LTC1760 has determined that the voltage  
delivered to the system load is inadequate.  
This function returns additional state information of the  
LTC1760 and provides a mechanism to prohibit charging.  
This command also removes any requirement for the  
SMBus Host to communicate directly with the charger to  
obtainACpresenceinformation.WhentheLTC1760isused,  
access to the charger 8-bit address, 0×01ꢀ, is blocked.  
0b: The LTC1760 has determined that the voltage  
delivered to the system load is adequate.  
CALIBRATE_REQUEST_SUPPORT Bit  
The read only CALIBRATE_REQUEST_SUPPORT bit is  
always set high to indicate that the LTC1760 has a mecha-  
nism to determine when any of the attached batteries are  
in need of a calibration cycle.  
Purpose:  
Used by the SMBus Host to retrieve additional state  
information from the LTC1760 and the overall system

capabilities of the LTC1760.  
Writing a 1 to this bit will cause a charger power on reset  
with the following effects.  
Purpose:  
• Charging will be turned off and wake-up charging will  
be resumed. This is the same as if the batteries were  
removed and then reinserted.  
Allows the SMBus Host to determine the number of bat-  
teries the LTC1760 supports as well as the specification  
revision implemented by the LTC1760.  
• The three minute wake-up watchdog timer will be  
restarted.

usedbytheLTC1760todetermineifchargingmaycontinue.  
TheSMBusHostusestheAlertResponseAddress(ARA)to  
simultaneously address all devices on the SMBus and de-  
terminewhichdevicesarecurrentlyassertingSMBALERT.  
Allowed values are:  
1b: The LTC1760 will not charge this battery.  
Purpose:  
0b: The LTC1760 may charge this battery if other  
conditions permit charging.  
This command allows the SMBus Host to identify the  
subset of devices that have new status data. This reduces  
the number of reads required to refresh all status infor-  
mation from the system. The SMBus Host begins an ARA  
by transmitting the 8-bit address, 0×18, to all devices.  
ARA-compliant devices that are asserting SMBALERT  
will then simultaneously return their address on the next  
read byte. While transmitting their address each device  
monitors SDA. If a lower address is present, the device  
transmitting the higher address will see that SDA does not  
match and it will stop transmitting its address. When a  
device sees its full address has been received it will stop  
assertingSMBALERTandtheHostwillknowtoreadstatus  
from this device. Subsequent ARA requests will allow the  
Host to complete the list of devices requiring servicing.  
OVER_TEMP_ALARM Bit  
The read only OVER_TEMP_ALARM bit is used by the

agement and battery calibration.  
Output:  
Allowed values are:  
The LTC1760 will transmit its 8-bit address, 0x14, in  
response to an ARA request. The LTC1760 will stop trans-  
mitting its address if another device with a lower address  
is also responding to the ARA. The LTC1760 will de-assert  
SMBALERT when it successfully returns its address.  
1b: The LTC1760 will terminate calibration and should  
try to not use this battery in the power path. When  
all other power paths fail the LTC1760 will ignore  
this alarm and still try to supply system power  
from this battery.  
The following events will cause the LTC1760 to pull-down  
the SMBALERT# bus through the SMBALERT pin:  
0b: TheLTC1760maycontinuedischargingthisbattery.  
• Change of AC_PRESENT in the BatterySystemSta-  
teCont() function.

2.6 LTC1760 SMBALERT Operation  
The LTC1760 will attempt to reinitiate wake-up charging  
on a battery if the battery is not being charged, the therm-  
istor is reporting IDEAL-RANGE, and the battery fails to  
respond to an SMBus query. This is an important feature  
for handling deeply discharged NiMH batteries. These  
batteries may begin to talk while being charged and go  
silent once charging has stopped.  
The SMBALERT pin allows the LTC1760 to signal to the  
SMBus Host that there has been a change of status.  
This pin is asserted low whenever there is a change in  
battery presence, AC presence or after a power on reset  
event. This pin is cleared during an Alert Response or

Wake-up charging takes priority over controlled charg-  
ing; this prevents one battery from tying up the charger  
when it would be advantageous to dual charge two deeply  
discharged batteries.  
The LTC1760 will attempt to reinitiate wake-up  
charging on both batteries after the SMBus Host asserts  
BatterySystemStateCont(CHARGER_POR) or a power on  
reset event. This will reset any wake-up charging safety  
timers and is equivalent to removing and reinserting both  
batteries.

battery voltage, the converter will attempt to turn on the  
top MOSFET continuously (“dropout’’). A dropout timer  
detects this condition and forces the top MOSFET to turn  
off, and the bottom MOSFET on, for about ꢀ00ns at 40µs  
intervals to recharge the bootstrap capacitor.  
7.2 Dual Charging  
Note that the charge MUX switch drivers will operate  
together to allow both batteries to be charged simultane-  
ously. If both charge MUX switch drivers are enabled,  
only the battery with the lowest voltage will be charged  
until its voltage rises to equal the higher voltage battery.  
The charge current will then share between the batteries  
according to the capacity of each battery.  
7.1 Charge MUX Switches  
The equivalent circuit of a charge MUX switch driver is  
shown in Figure 5. If the charger controller is not enabled,  
the charge MUX drivers will drive the gate and source of  
the series-connected MOSFETs to a low voltage and the  
switchisoff. Whenthe chargercontrolleris on, the charge  
MUX driver will keep the MOSFETs off until the voltage at  
CSN rises at least 35mV above the battery voltage. GCH1  
is then driven with an error amplifier EAC until the volt-  
age between BAT1 and CSN satisfies the error amplifier  
or until GCH1 is clamped by the internal Zener diode.  
The time required to close the switch could be quite long  
(many ms) due to the small currents output by the error  
amp and depending upon the size of the MOSFET switch.  
Whenbatteriesarecontrolledcharging,onlybatterieswith  
voltages above V  
are allowed to charge. When a bat-  
CHMIN  
tery is wake-up charging this restriction does not apply.  
8 PowerPath Controller  
ThePowerPathswitchesareturnedonandoffbythepower  
management algorithm. The external PFETs are usually  
connected as an input switch and an output switch. The  
output switch PFET is connected in series with the input  
PFETandthepositivesideoftheshort-circuitsensingresis-  
tor, R . The input switch is connected in series between  
SC  
the power source and the output PFET. The PowerPath  
switch driver equivalent circuit is shown in Figure 6. The  
output PFET is driven ON or OFF by the output side driver  
controlling pin GB10. The gate of the input PFET is driven  
by an error amplifier which monitors the voltage between  
the input power source (BAT1 in this case) and SCP. If  
the switch is turned off, the two outputs are driven to the  
higher of the two voltages present across the input/SCP  
terminals of the switch. When the switch is instructed to  
turn on, the output side driver immediately drives the gate  
of the output PFET approximately 6V below the highest  
of the voltages present at the input/SCP. When the output  
PFET turns on, the voltage at SCP will be pulled up to a  
diode drop below the source voltage by the bulk diode of  
the input PFET. If the source voltage is more than ꢀ5mV  
above SCP, EAP will drive the gate of the input PFET low  
until the input PFET turns on and reduces the voltage  
across the input/SCP to the EAP set point, or until the  
Zener clamp engages to limit the voltage applied to the  
input PFET. If the source voltage drops more than ꢀ0mV  
below SCP, then comparator CP turns on SWP to quickly  
prevent large reverse current in the switch. This operation  
mimics a diode with a low forward voltage drop.  
If the voltage at CSN decreases below V  
– ꢀ0mV a  
BAT1  
comparator CC quickly turns off the MOSFETs to prevent  
reverse current from flowing in the switches. In essence,  
this system performs as a low forward voltage diode.  
Operation is identical for BATꢀ.

8.1 Autonomous PowerPath Switching  
The LOPWR comparator monitors the voltage at the  
load through the resistor divider from pin SCN. If LTC  
(POWER_OFF) is low and the LOPWR comparator trips,  
then all of the switches are turned on (3-Diode mode)  
by the Autonomous PowerPath Controller to ensure that  
the system is powered from the source with the highest  
voltage. The Autonomous PowerPath Controller waits  
approximately 1 second, to allow power to stabilize, and  
then reverts back to the PowerPath switch configuration  
requested by the PowerPath Management Algorithm. A  
power fail counter is incremented to indicate that a failure  
has occurred. If the power fail counter equals a value of 3,  
then the the Autonomous PowerPath Controller sets the  
switches to 3-Diode mode and BatterySystem-  
StateCont(POWER_NOT_GOOD) will be set, provided  
the LOPWR comparator is still detecting a low power  
event. This is a three-strikes-and-you’re-out process  
which is intended to debounce the POWER_NOT_GOOD  
indicator. The power fail counter is reset when battery or

8.3 Emergency Turn-Off  
All of the PowerPath switches can be forced off by set-

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION  
Automatic Current Sharing  
it is actual physical capacity rating at the time of charge.  
Capacity rating will change with age and use and hence  
the current sharing ratios can change over time.  
In a dual parallel charge configuration, the LTC1760 does  
notactuallycontrolthecurrentflowingintoeachindividual  
battery. The capacity, or Amp-Hour rating, of each battery  
determines how the charger current is shared. This auto-  
matic steering of current is what allows both batteries to  
reach their full capacity points at the same time. In other  
words, given all other things equal, charge termination  
will happen simultaneously.  
Adapter Limiting  
An important feature of the LTC1760 is the ability to auto-  
matically adjust charging current to a level which avoids  
overloading the wall adapter. This allows the product to  
operate at the same time that batteries are being charged  
without complex load management algorithms. Addition-  
ally,batterieswillautomaticallybechargedatthemaximum  
possible rate of which the adapter is capable.  
A battery can be modeled as a huge capacitor and hence  
governed by the same laws.  
This feature is created by sensing total adapter output cur-  
rent and adjusting charging current downward if a preset  
adapter current limit is exceeded. True analog control is  
used,withclosedloopfeedbackensuringthatadapterload  
current remains within limits. Amplifier CL1 in Figure 9

CLP and DCIN pins. When this voltage exceeds 100mV,  
the amplifier will override programmed charging current  
to limit adapter current to 100mV/R . A lowpass filter

ing noise. If the current limit is not used, CLP should be  
connected to DCIN.

At this point you can see that the current divides as the  
ratio of the two batteries capacity ratings. The sum of the  
currentintoboth batteries is the sameasthecurrent being

the charger (CC or CV).

pin to GND determines one of five voltage limits that are  
applied to the charger output value. See Table 3. These  
limits provide a measure of safety with a hardware restric-  
tion on charging voltage, which cannot be overridden by  
software. This voltage sets the limit that will be applied  
to the battery as reported by battery. Since the battery  
internal voltage monitor point is the actual cell voltage,  
you may see higher voltages, up to 51ꢀmV higher, at the  
external charger terminals due to the voltage servo loop  
action. See Operations “Section 3.7” for more information

Inductor Selection  
Setting Charger Output Current Limit  
Higher operating frequencies allow the use of smaller  
inductor and capacitor values. A higher frequency gener-  
ally results in lower efficiency because of MOSFET gate  
charge losses. In addition, the effect of inductor value  
on ripple current and low current operation must also be  
considered.TheinductorripplecurrentI decreaseswith  
higher frequency and increases with higher V .  
The LTC1760 current DAC and the PWM analog circuitry  
must coordinate the setting of the charger current. Failure  
to do so will result in incorrect charge currents.

Charger Switching Power MOSFET and Diode  
Selection  
If the LTC1760 charger is to operate in low dropout mode  
or with a high duty cycle greater than 852, then the top-  
side N-channel efficiency generally improves with a larger  
MOSFET. Using asymmetrical MOSFETs may achieve cost  
savings or efficiency gains.  
TwoexternalpowerMOSFETsmustbeselectedforusewith  
the LTC1760 charger: An N-channel MOSFET for the top  
(main) switch and an N-channel MOSFET for the bottom  
(synchronous) switch.  
The peak-to-peak gate drive levels are set by the V volt-  
The Schottky diode D1, shown in the Typical Application,  
conducts during the dead-time between the conduction of  
the two power MOSFETs. This prevents the body diode of  
the bottom MOSFET from turning on and storing charge  
during the dead-time, which could cost as much as 12  
in efficiency. A 1A Schottky is generally a good size for  
4A regulators due to the relatively small average current.  
Larger diodes can result in additional transition losses  
due to their larger junction capacitance. The diode may  
be omitted if the efficiency loss can be tolerated.

Actual capacitance value is not critical. Solid tantalum  
low ESR capacitors have high ripple current rating in a  
relatively small surface mount package, but caution must  
be used when tantalum capacitors are used for input or  
output bypass. High input surge currents can be created  
when the adapter is hot-plugged to the charger or when a  
battery is connected to the charger. Solid tantalum capaci-  
tors have a known failure mechanism when subjected to  
very high turn-on surge currents. Only Kemet T495 series  
of “Surge Robust” low ESR tantalums are rated for high  
surge conditions such as battery to ground.

In order to prevent overshoot during start-up transients  
the time constant associated with C7 must be shorter than  
the time constant of C5 at the I pin. If C7 is increased  
to improve ripple rejection, then C5 should be increased  
proportionally and charger response time to average cur-  
rent variation will degrade.

Highest possible voltage rating on the capacitor will

If you use identical MOSFETs for both battery paths,

drop regulation only comes into play for parallel battery  
configurations that terminate charge or discharge using  
voltage. At first this seems to be a problem, but there are  
several factors helping out:  
PowerPath and Charge MUX MOSFET Selection  
Three pairs of P-channel MOSFETs must be used with  
the wall adapter and the two battery discharge paths. Two  
pairsofN-channelMOSFETsmustbeusedwiththebattery  
charge path. The nominal gate drive levels are set by the  
clamp drive voltage of their respective control circuitry.  
This voltage is typically 6.ꢀ5V. Consequently, logic-level  
threshold MOSFETs must be used. Pay close attention to  
1. When batteries are in parallel current sharing, the cur-  
rent flow through any one battery is less than if it is  
running stand-alone.  
ꢀ. Most batteries that charge in constant voltage mode,  
such as Li-ion, charge terminate at a current value of  
C/10 or less which is well within the linear operation  
range of the MOSFETs.

specification for the MOSFETs as well; many of

need such precise voltage tracking values.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION  
The LTC1760 has two transient conditions that force the  
dischargepathP-channelMOSFETstohavetwoadditional  
parameters to consider. The parameters are gate charge  
Remember to only use the real wall adapter with a produc-  
tionDCpowercordwhenperformingthewalladapterpath

for this test and will force you to over specify the MOSFET  
ratings.Abatterypackusuallyhasenoughseriesresistance

enough instantaneous power to damage their respective

Q
GATE  
and single pulse power capability.  
When the LTC1760 senses a LOW_POWER event, all  
the P-channel MOSFETs are turned on simultaneously  
to allow voltage recovery due to a loss of a given power  
source. However, there is a delay in the time it takes to  
turn on all the MOSFETs. Slow MOSFETs will require more  
bulk capacitance to hold up all the system’s power sup-  
ply function during the transition and fast MOSFET will  
require less bulk capacitance. The transition speed of a  
MOSFET to an on or off state is a direct function of the  
MOSFET gate charge.  
Conditioning Systems With Large Loads  
In systems where the load is too large to be used for  
conditioning a single battery it may be necessary to  
bypass the built in calibrate function and simply switch  
in an external load. A convenient way to accomplish this  
task is by using an SMBus based LTC16ꢀ3 load switch  
controller. See Figure 10.

survive a 15ms overload. MOSFETs of lower R  
DS(ON)  
or MOSFETs that use more powerful thermal packages  
will have a high power surge rating. Using too small of a  
pulse rating will allow the MOSFET to blow to the open  
circuit condition instantly like a fuse. Typically there is no  
outward sign of failure because it happens so fast. Please  
measure the surge current for all discharge power paths  
under worse case conditions and consult the MOSFET  
data sheet for the limitations. Voltage sources with the  
highest voltage and the most bulk capacitance are often  
the biggest risk. Specifically the MOSFETs in the wall  
adapter path with wall adapters of high voltage, large  
bulk capacitance and low resistance DC cables between  
the adapter and device are the most common failures.

ꢀ. The control IC needs to be close to the switching FET’s  
gate terminals. Keep the gate drive signals short for a  
cleanFETdrive.ThisincludesICsupplypinsthatconnect  
to the switching FET source pins. The IC can be placed  
on the opposite side of the PCB relative to above.  
9. A good rule of thumb for via count for a given high  
current path is to use 0.5A per via. Be consistent.  
10. If possible, place all the parts listed above on the  
same PCB layer.

3. Place inductor input as close as possible to switching  
FET’s output connection. Minimize the surface area of  
this trace. Make the trace width the minimum amount  
needed to support current—no copper fills or pours.  
Avoid running the connection using multiple layers in  
parallel. Minimize capacitance from this node to any  
other trace or plane.

per planes on multiple layers in parallel too—this helps  
with thermal management and lower trace inductance

4. Place the output current sense resistor right next to  
the inductor output but oriented such that the IC’s  
current sense feedback traces going to resistor are not  
long. The feedback traces need to be routed together  
as a single pair on the same layer at any given time  
with smallest trace spacing possible. Locate any filter  
component on these traces next to the IC and not at  
the sense resistor location.  
It is important to keep the parasitic capacitance on the R ,  
T
CSP and BAT pins to a minimum. The traces connecting  
these pins to their respective resistors should be as short  
as possible.

Important Safety Notes  
7. Connection of switching ground to system ground or  
internal ground plane should be single point. If the  
system has an internal system ground plane, a good  
way to do this is to cluster vias into a single star point  
to make the connection.  
Although every effort is made to meet and exceed all  
required “SMBus Charger V1.1” safety features it is the  
responsibility of the battery pack to protect itself from  
excessive currents or voltages. The LTC1760 is not itself  
a safety device. Consult your battery pack manufacturer  
for more information.  
8. Route analog ground as a trace tied back to IC ground  
(analog ground pin if present) before connecting to any  
other ground. Avoid using the system ground plane.  
CAD trick: make analog ground a separate ground net  
and use a 0Ω resistor to tie analog ground to system  
ground.
